My Students
Our band students are extremely diverse. Many speak Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Urdu, or Uzbek and home. However, despite their differences, they all come together to make music. The great thing about our band program is that you don't need to be an academic all-star to be successful. We all communicate through the language of music, so everyone has the same fair shot to be outstanding.
Our students are outstanding and take music very seriously.
We have won many awards for outstanding performances and have packed concerts at school. Our students' parents value their music education.
My Project
Our band program uses between 20-35 music stands per day. Many of them are quite old and in poor condition. When a student's music stand doesn't work, the height might be low, or the music might fall off of it. A broken stand distracts students from learning their instruments. Instead, the broken stand forces the student to be readjusting his or her music throughout rehearsal.
My students are patient and put up with malfunctioning stands constantly.
Having 5 perfectly working new music stands will be a first step in a long process of replacing broken music stands. We will continue replacing them throughout the year with your generosity.
More than half of students from low‑income households
